🤔 "WHY DO I HAVE CANDIDA?"
.
A few of these might surprise u while others are very well known
.
To be fair, we all have #candida living in the gut (more specifically in ur small intestine)
.
It's an opportunistic organism that WILL overgrow if given the chance which is why antibiotic use is certainly a factor here
.
‼️7 REASONS WHY CANDIDA OVERGROWS‼️
.
🔸Lots of antibiotics - from taking the meds to eating foods treated with antibiotics, this exposure is usually fairly significant for most people that reduces helpful bacteria normally keeping fungus in check
.
🔸 Steroids - though oral and injected steroids can increase fungal overgrowth, I've seen a huge number of clients who used #topicalsteroids + also those going thru #topicalsteroidwithdrawal with major fungal issues
.
🔸High alcohol consumption - it's a pretty fungally beverage...
.
🔸 Highly processed diets loaded with refined carbs + sugars (and often low in fiber) which alters ur microbiome favoring yeast
.
🔸Mold exposure - fungally environments + exposures increase internal fungus (and can make candida difficult to clear)
.
🔸 Certain biologic drugs like IL-17 inhibitors + TNF-a blockers which carry a warning about this very issue. This is most commonly an issue for people with #psoriasis, IBD + other conditions where these drugs are often used
.
🔸birth control pills can shift the gut microbiome unfortunately
.
U can have 1 or more of these reasons going on that triggered too much fungus
.
Some of these reasons require more work than others to rebalance ur fungal load
.
And I think it's worthwhile to mention that fungal overgrowth internally absolutely can trigger rashes on your skin (w/o necessarily having fungal overgrowth ON UR skin)
.
👉Which of these are potentially a factor in your case?
